Whytecliff Park
West Vancouver
BC
Canada
Whytecliff Park (15.63 hectares in size) is located in a beautiful corner of Howe Sound with a rugged coastline and spectacular views of colourful mountains and passing boats.
This beachfront image reminds me of a screensaver.
I can just imagine how spectacular places like this are at sunset...the problem with long road trips is being in places for only short periods of time. We drove from California (actually from Phoenix to Ca to OR to WA to MO SD etc back to Nova Scotia so we could never stay in one place for long enough. Now that I am addicted to being a grandmother I may never get back...at least I have lots of photos to enjoy.
Taken in Den Helder, Netherlands.
The European herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a large gull (up to 26 in (66 cm) long). One of the best known of all gulls along the shores of western Europe, it was once abundant. It breeds across Northern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Some European herring gulls, especially those resident in colder areas, migrate further south in winter, but many are permanent residents, e.g. in the British Isles, Iceland, or on the North Sea shores. European herring gulls have a varied diet, including fish, crustaceans and dead animals as well as some plants.

"To whom it may concern
I've always tried to learn
That the good days, need to last..."

Hurricane on the way to St Augustine as I post this. So, I am hoping in the tides, too.

Afectuosamente dedicada a Oscar Hevia, que tiene la fortuna de vivir en ese hermoso rincón del mundo. // Warmly devoted to Oscar Hevia, who has the fortune of living in that wonderful corner in the World.
La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.
Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio
de los tímidos pasos del día
aventurándose en su costumbre
de ruidos ascendentes
La piel se recupera y va asumiendo
el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga
su lujo de colores y relieves
el mar azul, el avaro espejo
en que se mira el cielo soleado
y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas
sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.
Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días
en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida
The light spawns its silver light over the sea.
Pacified, the waves magnify the silence
of the feeble steps of the day
venturing into their habit
of increasing noises.
The skin gets over and is assuming
the splendor of the sun which already lavishes
its luxury of colors and reliefs,
the blue sea, the greedy mirror
in which the sunny sky watches itself
and in its swinging the sound of the waves
suggests a long trip to memory.
Each day renews its memory, old days
in the time unit which is the life.

In a view from a precarious perch high above the rugged shores of Lake Superior, Canadian Pacific train No. 935 curves through Mink Tunnel near Coldwell, Ontario, on September 23, 1993. The consist of 935 today is made up of mostly converted 40 and 50-foot boxcars carrying wood chips.
The Oregon Coast is rough, rugged and full of endless photo opportunities such as this one, looking south from Silver Point towards Falcon Point in the distance.
